Judah's Swift Subjugation
Commentators explain that after defeating King Josiah, Pharaoh Neco asserted his dominance by summoning the new king, Jehoahaz, to his military camp at Riblah. There, Jehoahaz was imprisoned and deposed. This act demonstrates the immediate loss of Judah's independence and its subjugation to Egypt, a major shift in regional power. Some scholars, citing Ezekiel, suggest treachery was involved.
